Hammered

Dirty Hands Trilogy #2

by Tyler Young

Hammered: Part 2 of a 3-part series

Months after walking away, Jesse is back—bruised, broke, and out of options. Beau never thought he’d see him again, but the moment Jesse steps into his garage, all that anger turns to something hotter.

They’re not the same men they were before. The walls are higher. The trust is thinner. And the pull between them is still dangerous.

Beau wants to keep control. Jesse wants to prove he’s not the kid who ran. But jealousy, rivalry, and old wounds push them to their breaking point—until every fight ends the same with hands, mouths, and hearts colliding.

Love isn’t easy when you’ve both been burned. But some things are worth getting hammered for.

HAMMERED is a gritty, high-heat MM romance about second chances, hard truths, and the kind of connection you can’t walk away from.

Tropes: Reunion, exes with unresolved tension, protectiveness, jealous alpha, emotional walls

About the author

Tyler Young writes emotionally intense queer romance about men under pressure—athletes, blue-collar workers, and stubborn, guarded leads who don’t fall easily but love hard once they do. His stories blend grit and tenderness, high-stakes settings, and deeply earned HEAs, with recurring themes of loyalty, identity, and choosing connection over silence. When he’s not writing, he’s probably thinking about the next collision—on the ice, on the mat, or in the garage—that will force his characters to finally tell the truth.
